Or what other options are out there?

Looks the same as many Chinese made units all over ebay, Ali express etc. I have one and is very good. It's the one slipperyeel makes an adjuster for.

Cheers appreciate that don’t suppose you’ve got a link have ya?
I’d rather buy one that someone’s had a positive experience with

Had a similar one on my 2017 F800GSA and it was plug and play and a vast improvement over the standard halogen item , sure I paid just over £200 and that was 5 or 6 years ago .

I searched online and found the seller with the best reviews , sure it came from Germany (before they imposed the £140 limit before getting stiffed by HMRC)

Got one just like that off Amazon but it’s the standard Chinese model.
Straight forward fit in place of the original but remember to keep the rubber anti vibration grommets from the original to put on the replacement.

Most sell for just under the customs limit
(Or used to) I've had one for years

Makes me laugh when I get Reginald

Molehusband, giving me 110w of halogens,

when approaching me on a dark morning,

because he thinks I'm on full beam

A quick flash of full beam, & lone riders@100%

Does tend to make people change there mind lol

One thing to ensure is that it has a drain / vent in the unit , earlier versions offered for sale in the UK suffered from condesation behind the lens
